It is about to usher in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the central axis of the year. The central axis (spleen and stomach) rotates, the four dimensions (liver, heart, lungs and kidneys) are orderly, if the spleen and stomach are injured, the five organs are damaged, so it is particularly important to maintain the spleen and stomach, especially in the long summer season.
Why?
1. Nourish the spleen in a long summer
Long summer, June also. The earth is born in fire, grows in the summer, is long and prosperous, so the clouds are long in summer.
The long summer, which lasts in the middle of summer and ends in the cool autumn, most of the crops are transformed and matured at this time, giving birth to seeds. Therefore, the biochemical role of Changxia is "Hua", which should be in the human spleen and stomach system, so the cloud - the spleen is the main Changxia.
In the long summer, the heat of the human body causes a lot of yang qi leakage, so it is cold, the spleen and stomach are weak, and gastrointestinal diseases are most likely to occur.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "Changxia belongs to the soil in the five elements, belongs to the center in the five directions, belongs to dampness in the five qi, belongs to the spleen in the five organs, and belongs to the muscles in the five bodies", that is, the spleen belongs to the earth in the five elements, and is susceptible to dampness, and even diarrhea, edema.
In addition to the dampness in nature, in the long summer season, the human body is also prone to the stagnation of water and dampness in the body due to spleen and yang deficiency and the dysfunction of transporting water and fluid. External dampness and internal dampness affect each other, aggravating the damage to the spleen and yang.
Therefore, in the long summer season, we must strengthen the spleen, nourish the spleen and dispel dampness.
2. Acupuncture points nourish the spleen
Acupuncture points can not only cure diseases, but also diagnose diseases.
"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" records that "the real must be seen, and the virtual must be lowered". When our body is in the void syndrome, the corresponding acupuncture points often appear concave, just like when the groundwater is insufficient, the ground will collapse.
The obvious pit of the spleen deficiency is Zusanli!
The foot is three inches below the outer knee, that is, four finger widths, and one horizontal finger outside the tibia.
When the depression is found on the feet, it usually indicates that there is a problem of spleen qi deficiency, often accompanied by abdominal distension and abdominal pain, indigestion, loss of appetite, diarrhea and constipation.
The effect of using moxibustion Zusanli to regulate spleen deficiency is the best, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and nourish qi and blood.
Moxibustion method: Moxibustion can be gentle and moxibustion on both sides of the foot three miles, each acupoint moxibustion for 20 minutes, once every other day or once a day, the specific amount of moxibustion depends on the physique.
